THE c. s. o. CANAL.-It is the intention
of the Chesapeake and Ohio canal authori-
ties to begin at once the work of feeding
water into the Cumberland level. The
filing of the levels will not progress regu.
larly, but will be done as rapidly as neces.
sary repairs can be made. 1t is expected
that the water will be on along the entire
line in time for navigation to commence the
first week in March. There is already
some coal on the Cumberland basin wharf,
which will be loaded for Georgetown next
week.

REDWOOD NOTES.

The picnic given on the Fourth, ia
Norton's woods, under the auspices of the
ladies of St. Joseph's church, was far
ahead of what speculation had looked for.
The attractions brought numbers to the
village from far and near. Heavy showers
at P. NJ. drove many from the grove,
but climbing the creased pole and the
foot race were interesting and exciting all
the same. The grand ball given in the even
ing at Cleveland hall was largely attended,
all having a fine time. At 3 A. NJ. the
voting for ring, the contestants being
Miss Libbie Burke and Miss Emma
Luther, was holly contested, at the last
few minutes the ring being awarded to Miss
Luther, she coming out ahead by six votes.
The Grafton given by Prof N. Thauer was
excellent and received hearty appiauses.
John Scion was president of the day, and
his suggestion for three cheers for the
glorious Fourth was heartily responded to.
The farmers are happy over the copious
rains received in the past four days. The
The backbo of the drought has been
broken and crops now promise fair
yield. Hay is about all made and the
harvesting of fall wheat and rye is pro-
crossing fayorably. ).

A few days since the residence of VIM.
Fl. Potter had narrow escape from
burning. The chimney on the wing
burned out and cinders fell on the wood
pile, which was set on fire and the flames
communicated to the house burning off a
portion of the siding and part of the roof.
Fortunately help was on hand to apply

thus preventing a serious fire.
Miss Ann Lewellin, of WATERFOWL,

SEVERAL men prominent in the rebel
armies, like Longstreet and Mosby, be-
came Republicans after the war, and are
frequently referred to the Southern papers
as "apostates." They were thus charac-
terized in letter written by Democrat
recently to The Portland Oregonian, anent
the rebel flag business. That paper
makes the following just comment: "Why
apostates? Because they became Repub-
licans. This is is the. assumption that the
man who was confederate ought there
fore to continue a Democrat always, and
that he ought to be denounced as an
'apostate' if he does not. This shows how
fully the confederate cause is identified
in the Democratic minds of the Demo
cratic party. But why should not the
confederate who made his fight and fail
ed, and who. has ceased to be rebel, be
also permitted to cease to be Democrat?
Of course the identity of the Democratic
party with the rebellion is an historical
act, but many Democrats are shy about
admitting it. This spirit undoubtedly
prevails very widely in the Democratic

The state election that promises to at
tract most interest this year will be that
held in Massachusetts, 1t is the onl y state
that elects full list of state officers and
a legislature. The Democrats and Mug
wumps have united for the biggest fight
they can possibly make, and the admin
istration will give them all the aid in its
power, with view of booming Mr.. Cleve-
land for another term should the COM
bination be successful. But the Repub-
licans of the old Bay state are fully awake
to the emergency and are confident they
will not be beaten.
Besides Massachusetts,, Iowa, Ohio,
Kentucky and Maryland will elect gov
errors. The last two states Will of course
elect the Democratic candidates, although
the Kentucky Republicans will make
vigorous contest, and will no doubt reduce
the usual Bourbon majority. There is
probably no question that Iowa and Ohio
will elect the Republican candidates.
Virginia chooses a legislature that will
elect a United States senator in place Of
Riddleberger. The Republicans feel
hopeful of carrying majority of the dis
tricts. New York will elect a secretary
of state and some minor officers, and the
progress of the campaign there will be
watched with good deal of interest on
account of its supposed bearing on the
national contest next year.
The other elections that will occur are
of merely local interest and will not at
